Our aim is to tailor make your visit to include activities that are suited to your requirements. We can accommodate up to 120 in a group and will reserve one of our classrooms (and tables in our marquee for the largest groups), so that your group may comfortably eat their lunches.

Guided Tour
A fun and informative tour of the farm park and our animals. A bag of animal feed is included so children can experience hand feeding and stroking of the animals. Topics such as animal classification and physical features, growth and babies, animal senses, habitats and predator vs prey, can be covered and targeted to the age of the group. More in depth focus can be given to one of these areas or we can link with other relevant topic work. For SEN groups, sensory experiences can be included in the tour.
Small animal handling
Come and cuddle a bunny rabbit, stroke a guinea pig, handle a tortoise and in Spring and early Summer, cradle a fluffy chick. Being so close with gentle, friendly animals is a delight for our young visitors and creates special memories.
Meerkat Feeding
Gather around the meerkat pen and see our family meerkat mob at work and play. Hear all about their needs, their habitat, diet and unique set of behaviours. All children have the opportunity to give live mealworm to the meerkats too!
Pond Dipping
Identify the amazing creatures lurking beneath the waters of our ponds. Discover what makes a healthy pond habitat and how these strange beasties survive in their underwater world. Learn about the lifecycle of some of our amphibian residents and hopefully meet them up close!
Mini-beast mayhem
In our Wildlife Garden, children will look at the features of and identify mini-beasts found, learn what role they play and think about the micro-habitats they live in. With our guide they will then assist in the making a layer of a 'Bug Hotel', to attract new mini-beasts to 'check in' at their ideal habitat.
Lifecycle of a chicken
Meet our chickens and find out about their needs and behaviour; learn more about the egg laying process, incubation and meet our chicks. Get up close to a mother hen and chick, see, feel and hear their differences.
Pony rides (5-10 mins)
See how our ponies are tacked up and hear about their needs. Have a rewarding experience with a gentle ride on the ponies, accompanied by our trained instructors. £3.50 extra per child, subject to availability.
Risk assessment can be supplied on request
Nativities
Get in the Christmas spirit with our live Nativities. The children of your school or pre-school can dress up and join in with the story of the arrival of baby Jesus. With lovely Christmas carols and the help of some furry creatures!
